The trial of Chidinma Ojukwu, accused of the murder of Super TV CEO Michael Ataga, has again stalled due to the absence of a prosecution witness.
“Ï suggest that a clear date be given to ensure that substantive justice is done to this matter.”
The counsel was unable to appear because he was ill, while others in the defence team could not also appear due to other engagements.
The legal counsel informed the court that he was stuck in Anambra due to flight delay.
On May 12, it was said that the trial could no longer hold due to a change of counsel by the third defendant, Ms Egbuchu.
The accused face a felony count of conspiracy to murder, murder, and conspiracy to commit forgery.
